YOGA THERAPY FOR IMPROVED DIGESTION

When we become busy or stressed, the digestive system is one of the first to go out of balance. Discover yoga's secrets of postures and breathing and mindful practices that realign digestive health.
Ayurveda, yoga’s sister science of natural medicine, states that the health of the digestive system is the single most important long-term determinant of health and well-being. When the digestive system is not functioning efficiently toxins accumulate and seep out into the body rather than being eliminated. Yoga for digestion is designed to balance the digestive fires and tone the digestive system to maximize the assimilation of nutrients and elimination of waste.

Alignment: How we stand make a difference: Why?
According to the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety:
Stylist commonly report musculoskeletal disorders, including work-related upper limb disorders and back problems. These are attributed to the requirement for maintaining awkward postures of the upper body and limbs while performing highly repetitive tasks, fatigue and other health problems from standing long hours.
Energy of people: How to deal with energy of challenging clients: Why?
Stylists must deal with a constant flow of customers who have very different personalities that can take more time and energy. A lot of times they weigh you down from the pressure and can affect you with upcoming clients and family time.
